The nomination process for the Supporters-Director role at Raith Rovers FC is now open.

Nominations, seconded by two members of Raith Forum organisations (Supporters Club, 200 Club, Jim McMillan Club and Supporters Trust), should be received no later than Friday 26 April. In the event of more than one nomination being received an election will take place between Monday 29 April and Friday 17 May.

More details on the duties and responsibilities of the role can be found here.

Whilst most Raith fans were enjoying their half time pie or praying we could hold onto our 2-0 lead against Morton on Saturday outgoing Raith Trust board member John Mainland handed over a cheque for £1000 to Raith Rovers director Dave Wann.

The money represents the profits made from last summers beer festival and the sponsored triathlon Carol Smith (from Barcelona) did to raise money for the club. That makes a total of £6000 the trust has handed over to the club this season.

The trust board wishes to thank John for all his hard work with the trust where he has been a board member since the beginning. We are sure he will continue to be involved in the club and be seen at the trust table in the south stand.

About The Trust

Raith Supporters Trust was set up in 2001 to make sure that the voice of the Raith Rovers support is heard.

We are a democratic organisation made up of ordinary fans of Raith Rovers FC. We work with the football club board and other fan groups to help make sure that Raith Rovers FC has a strong and stable future as a club at the heart of the community.

The Trust is the legal vehicle for the Raith Forum’s shareholding in New Raith Rovers Ltd, which represents approximately 5% of the total shares in the companies which make up Raith Rovers. As a result the fans are now represented on the board of the football club with a 'Supporters Director' giving Raith fans a real say in the direction and running of the club.
